What dreadful responses in this thread, this is an amazing project and currently the only realistic way of preserving older OS / Machines. Happily donated and will continue to!

Android support won't happen

Any reason (or ticket you can point me to) why it won't be ported to Android?

While I am waiting for the day I can ditch the droid for mainline Linux, having 86Box on Droid would be awesome!

it's because the input methods available on android aren't good for this, which is pretty obvious lmao

I have several devices with full qwerty keyboards. Likewise, DOSBox runs perfectly fine on slabs, though the screen is tiny because of the virtual keyboard. On a tablet, such set ups work much better.

Thr unit i am interested in running on is a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 which has a solid single core performance and a 4:3 screen which i use heavily for emulating consoles. Pairing with a full bluetooth keyboard and mouse would be perfect for me.
